Good news... looks like the HD Tivo will be upgradable (hackable) with a larger 2nd hard drive. (voids warranty)! They are still having trouble upgrading the primary hard drive to >250, but they've successfully added a second drive, bumping up the HD storage to the much better 70 hours.

Rats! And here I bought a DVD recorder to more frequently archive shows off my HDTiVo for nothing.. :sure:

It doesn't really surprise me much that the standard MFS tools would work with this unit. The issue will be getting a mounting bracket and cooling solution for the second drive. But like all my other *TiVos in the house, it looks like the newest will also have a drive upgrade at some point in the future...
